Great Value for Money - Amazing Day Trip! - Exceptional value for money, this trip includes so many activities for the price. Jamal the driver was very friendly and drove us to all destinations, stopped to let us get pictures of the amazing landscapes, and picked and dropped us off at our hotel. Mohammed the tour guide on the hike was lovely, very knowledge and let us stop for breaks (as it was 36 degrees!!) and helped me up and down the rocky terrain in parts. We had a lovely lunch which was included and it was excellent and there was so much food as well we were so full afterwards. Definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting Marrakech!!

Excursion to the Atlas Mountains - We had a great day on this excursion. Our driver Hussein Lhossayn picked us up right near our hotel and accompanied us well on this journey. This excursion is very busy, we do not see the day spent (hiking, Berber village visit, making argan oil, camel, etc.) The lunch is very hearty and delicious. The atlas hike was very well organized with our guide.

Beautiful views... - A great option for a day trip from Marrakesh. Beautiful views, easy route, even for a 7-year-old child. The program also includes a tasty Moroccan dinner and a ride on a Camel. Our guide Oulid, who came from this area, was great at telling and taking care of our comfort during the trip.

Exquisite trip! Greatly recommended - The trip was absolutely amazing. Even though the trip took longer than expected (because of the group), the guide showed a lot of patience and love. Every stop we thought it’s impossible for the trip to get better, but yet it did. The lunch was super tasty and the place - amazing! The trip has a perfect balance of time in a car and time in outside. Be prepared for a hike - the road to the waterfall might be challenging for some. Overall I think it’s the best way in which you can get a taste of Morroco in one day:) Super recommended!!!

A day away from the Medina. - Walid was a great guide, friendly and attentive, I loved the camels. Even though I payed twice as much since I booked via my riad host, I think it was worth every penny. I only wish I had more time to get to know my camel, I don’t even know his name.

The sweetest people and amazing views - Great tour to know the atlas mountains, the waterfalls and the berber villages. As well as the Agafay desert. Amazing views and super nice people. The driver and the guide were super nice and helpful. The wheather is much cooler in the mountains so if you are trying to escape the heat of Marrakech, this is a great way to do it! Karim and is wife let us in to their home and treated us with tea and biscuits. Super nice and humble people. However the tour is a bit desorganized but its still worth it!
